While President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that abortion is a state issue, the Pro-Life Generation (PLG) disagrees. Despite many in the pro-life movement feeling stuck at what to do next, Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins laid out a comprehensive strategy for abolishing abortion in America. The tools? Going after Chemical Abortion Pills and their reckless online distribution through the legal direction from the Gonzales v. Carhart case.
Read what Hawkins laid out in her recent Townhall op-ed:
“Old models make good history book lessons, not present-day plans.
The so-called ‘problem’ for pro-life strategists asserted by the abortion lobby – that there is nothing that can be done to protect Life in this legal and political environment – is overcome with strategic precision from legislative and executive action that targets the risks created by the reckless approval, distribution, and monitoring of a deadly business.
A deadly method and means of abortion ended when a case was made about dangerous and unnecessary risks. We saw this come to fruition in Gonzales v. Carhart.
The barbarity of the death of a living child, the arguments about risks to women, and the reality of the cruel business of abortion led to a national uprising against that kind of killing, fought in legislatures and courts around the country until 2007 when the Supreme Court ruled that such a method of abortion could be regulated and ended.
It is in the framework of that legal takedown of Partial-Birth Abortion that a path forward opens for addressing the toxic reality of Chemical Abortion Pills, now the number one means of abortion in America and the world. Its legal foundation is the roadmap.”
